Champions!

Elliot's team is playing today in the regional hockey semi-finals in Victoriaville. I can't be there- he travelled with a friend of his- but I've been getting updates via. text from one of the other mothers. They won their 2nd game 8-1! The ambience in the stands must be completely nuts! Go Voyageurs go!!! There are 2 games today, one this morning and the final later this afternoon.

Tirage #4: April 2012

The winner of the 4th pair of socks in this series of raffles is a hockey grandma! Local musician (and papa of Emil) Simon E. was at a game recently with his usual group of ladies ;-) and his mum ended up buying a trio of tickets for the PeeWee sock draw. And she won!

Raffle Deets

Reminder: tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. You can still buy tickets for Novice,MAHG, Old-Timer or PeeWeesizes-- simply indicate your preference when you purchase the ticket(s).

Edited to add, as of 01-04-2012: the sock draw has come to a close, as has Elliot's hockey season. It was an amazing one!

Elliot's hockey team will be participating in 3 tournaments this year: 2 more or less close to home, and a mega-tournament in Gatineau at the end of February. We've decided to create a sock raffle to help us pay for these activities. There will be draws for different sizes of hand-knitted socks throughout the 2011-2012 season: starting with Novice (child aged 4-7); MAHG (child aged 3-5); Old-timer (adult medium) and finally PeeWee (child aged 10-12).
